May Sir Gavin Williamson’s third exit be the last - Jayne Dowle

I’m tempted to say that we shouldn’t waste precious column inches on the embarrassment that was (Sir) Gavin Williamson. Now we’ve all learnt the unedifying truth about the Scarborough-born Conservative MP for South Staffordshire, forced to resign from the Cabinet this week as allegations about his bullying behaviour towards colleagues could no longer be ignored by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, we might be inclined to draw a line under the whole sorry affair.

Truss's Premiership shows it's time to lay the ghost of Thatcher - Jayne Dowle

LONDON, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 20: Chairman of the 1922 Committee, Sir Graham Brady, speaks to the press following the resignation of Liz Truss as Prime Minister Of The United Kingdom on October 20, 2022 in London, England. Liz Truss has been the UK Prime Minister for just 44 days and has had a tumultuous time in office. Her mini-budget saw the GBP fall to its lowest-ever level against the dollar, increasing mortgage interest rates and deepening the cost-of-living crisis. She responded by sacking her Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, whose replacement announced a near total reversal of the previous policies. Yesterday saw the departure of Home Secretary Suella Braverman and a chaotic vote in the House of Commons chamber. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images)
